A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda.

This is a betrayalβ€”not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧡

I frequently complain that there are too many billionaires on the number 4 bus.

Flying through Dulles is great because instead of dealing with crazy new inventions like "jet bridges" you get to stick to trusty stairs and buses.

knowing "how the computer works" is quickly going from "advantageous skillset in office job" to "godlike degree of metacognition when navigating reality"

I am constantly giving a version of this to people who want guidance from "the data" - no! Tell me what your story is, and then data helps us figure out if it's plausible, where your audience is, etc.

a post which says "Bush wasn't taking rights away nor was he trying to cheat elections. The most harm caused under him was the Great Recession."

one thing about stephen miller is he wants to crush his enemies.

Ds are...very reluctant to say they want to crush their enemies.

I think there is no better summation of the Democratic Party than saying you want to minimize cruelty instead of completely eliminate it

"minimizing cruelty" - so you're still OK with SOME cruelty, including to children?

Zohran didn't win by relying on standard turnout patterns. We had to fundamentally transform the Democratic electorate.

I was part of a group of NYC-DSA members that applied lessons from our previous campaigns to design the β€œuniverse” of voters to talk to. Here's how we won 🧡

This is exactly right; any answer to any question about β€œwhy doesn’t the left do X thing the right does” is always the same.

My friends and I have attempted a version of taking over the Democratic Party from the left. The campaign against us by the establishment has been unrelenting.

If you regularly read the news and try to discuss it with another person you will sound more insane than a raving street preacher. Waving a big REPENT sign mumbling something about the bureau of labor statistics

I am hearing that on his deathbed Tom Lehrer received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada. Even now she looks down on the Ummah from the gardens of Jannah. Truly there is no god but Allah, and Mohammad is his prophet!

So you think "Democratic bills that Republicans voted for without Democrats moving at all" is the only thing she's talking about here?

The wild thing is that the first person to do it will be so refreshing the PR gain they get will be through the roof.

So you agree that it's good to make deals with fascists? Or do you think the Republican party aren't fascists?

During my time in the Congress, I made a covenant with death and an agreement with hell.

As Governor, I’ll continue to fight for what I believe in β€” and that’s focusing on delivering real results for Virginians, regardless of whether they backed the American NSDAP.
